Summary Introduction
Introduction:
There are four requirements for life on Earth, which are liquid water, energy, suitable temperatures, and nutrients. Amongst all these, the most important requirements for the aquatic biomes or organisms are the nutrients, temperature, and energy. In aquatic ecosystems, as the depth of ocean increases the sunlight decreases.

- Considering your knowledge of the 'aquatic world' so far, describe in the detail the nearest water body that you are most familiar with. Chosen body of water Boracay in the Philippines. 1) What is this body of water? (hint: provide name). What are its characteristics? 2) What are the components and processes? What are the resources in that body of water? 3) How is that body of water impacted by terrestrial activities? 4) What are the services provided by that body of water?arrow_forwardThe pelagic zone of the ocean is the area of the ocean that is neither close to the bottom nor close to land. There are a wide variety of organisms that inhabit the pelagic zone. Phytoplankton float along the surface, using photosynthesis to produce food. Zooplankton are tiny organisms that float in the surface waters and feed on the abundant phytoplankton. Krill, small crustaceans, also feed on phytoplankton. They display vertical migration in which they swim at deeper depths during the day and then come up to the surface waters at night to eat. What is the relationship between zooplankton and krill?  a) Symbiosis b) Competition c) Parasitism d) Commensalism e) Mutualismarrow_forwardA lake with low nutrient levels and very clear water is called eutrophic oligotrophic a dead zone a septic zone oxygen depletedarrow_forward

- Entangles fish, marine mammals, and sea birds, preventing them from feeding or causing them to drown. Dead zones: algal blooms consume oxygen, kills shellfish and displaces fish. Poisonous algae and countless plants and animals have invaded harbor waters and disrupted the local ecological balance. Destruction of coral reefs. Of the seventeen major world fisheries, four are depleted and the other thirteen are either fished to capacity or over-fished. Ghost nets: lost or discarded fishing nets keep on fishing. Nitrogen and phosphorus from sources such as fertilizer, sewage and detergents, enter coastal waters. Invasive species, such as zebra mussels. Cruise ships and tourists. Commercial marine fisheries. 01 S ITEM BANK: M 2arrow_forward1. What causes ocean warming and acidification? It is caused mainly by carbon dioxide and many marine organisms that produce carbonate shells 2. Why are human activities that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere causing concern? Type answer here. 3. How does the water chemistry charlge as carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the ocean? Type answer here. 4. What will happen if man continues to release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere? Type answer here. 5. What are two economic risks of ocean acidification? Type answer here. 6. According to the author, what two things will ocean scientists in the future need to understand? Type answer here.arrow_forwardMore about zonation Click on the question marks to change them to a check mark for each statement that is TRUE or a blank box if the statement is NOT TRUE about vertical zonation. Kelps and corraline algae can be found along the lower intertidal and subtidal zones. ? The lower intertidal is dominated by seaweeds. The first stage of ecological succession in the rocky intertidal is the establishment of bacteria and microscopic algae. Green, brown and red algae on the upper intertidal are able to fix nitrogen from the air. The effect of a keystone species can easily be judged by how abundant it is.arrow_forward
